على الكافرين غير يسير
عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ

doch begehrt er hierauf, daß Ich (ihm) noch mehr gebe.
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
ثم يطمع أن أزيد
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).
Keineswegs! Er ist gegen Unsere Zeichen wiederholt widerspenstig gewesen.
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
كلا ۖ إنه كان لآياتنا عنيدا
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ لِءَايَٰتِنَا عَنِيدًا
I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or) face a severe torment!
Ich werde ihn mit Beschwerlichem bedrücken.
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
سأرهقه صعودا
سَأُرْهِقُهُۥ صَعُودًا
Verily, he thought and plotted.
Er hat ja nachgedacht und abgewogen.
For he thought and he plotted; -
إنه فكر وقدر
إِنَّهُۥ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
So let him be cursed: how he plotted!
Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
And woe to him! How he plotted! -

فقال إن هذا إلا سحر يؤثر
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"
Das sind nur die Worte von Menschenwesen."
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
إن هذا إلا قول البشر
إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا قَوْلُ ٱلْبَشَرِ
I will cast him into Hell-fire.
Ich werde ihn der Saqar aussetzen.
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
سأصليه سقر
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
And what will make you know (exactly) what Hell-fire is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
وما أدراك ما سقر
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سَقَرُ
It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!
Sie läßt nichts übrig und läßt nichts bestehen.

Burning and blackening the skins!
Sie verändert die Menschen ganz.

لواحة للبشر
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).
Über ihr gibt es neunzehn (Wächter).
Over it are Nineteen.
عليها تسعة عشر
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers, - in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, - and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
وما جعلنا أصحاب النار إلا ملائكة ۙ وما جعلنا عدتهم إلا فتنة للذين كفروا ليستيقن الذين أوتوا الكتاب ويزداد الذين آمنوا إيمانا ۙ ولا يرتاب الذين أوتوا الكتاب والمؤمنون ۙ وليقول الذين في قلوبهم مرض والكافرون ماذا أراد الله بهذا مثلا ۚ كذلك يضل الله من يشاء ويهدي من يشاء ۚ وما يعلم جنود ربك إلا هو ۚ وما هي إلا ذكرى للبشر
وَمَا جَعَلْنَآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلنَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَٰٓئِكَةً وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَيَزْدَادَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِيمَٰنًا وَ
Nay! And by the moon
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
كلا والقمر
كَلَّا وَٱلْقَمَرِ
And by the night when it withdraws.
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
And by the Night as it retreateth,
والليل إذ أدبر
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
And by the dawn when it brightens.
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
والصبح إذا أسفر
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs).
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
إنها لإحدى الكبر
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى ٱلْكُبَرِ
A warning to mankind -
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
A warning to mankind, -
نذيرا للبشر
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins).
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
لمن شاء منكم أن يتقدم أو يتأخر
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,
Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة
كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
إلا أصحاب اليمين
إِلَّآ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْيَمِينِ
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
sie werden sich in Gärten befinden, und sie werden einander fragen
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
في جنات يتساءلون
فِى جَنَّٰتٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):
nach den Übeltätern:
And (ask) of the Sinners:
عن المجرمين
عَنِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
Was hat euch in Saqar geführt?
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
ما سلككم في سقر
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِى سَقَرَ
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salat (prayers),
Sie werden sagen: "Wir gehörten nicht zu denjenigen, die beteten,
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
قالوا لم نك من المصلين
قَالُوا۟ لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ ٱلْمُصَلِّينَ
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
ولم نك نطعم المسكين
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ ٱلْمِسْكِينَ
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
وكنا نخوض مع الخائضين
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ ٱلْخَآئِضِينَ
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
وكنا نكذب بيوم الدين
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
حتى أتانا اليقين
حَتَّىٰٓ أَتَىٰنَا ٱلْيَقِينُ
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
فما تنفعهم شفاعة الشافعين
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَٰعَةُ ٱلشَّٰفِعِينَ
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
فما لهم عن التذكرة معرضين
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلتَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As if they were affrighted asses,
كأنهم حمر مستنفرة
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
Fleeing from a lion!
فرت من قسورة
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍۭ
Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has come with the truth from Allah, the Lord of the heavens and earth).
Aber nein! Jedermann von ihnen will, daß ihm aufgeschlagene Blätter zukommen.
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
بل يريد كل امرئ منهم أن يؤتى صحفا منشرة
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment).
Keineswegs! Vielmehr fürchten sie nicht das Jenseits.
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
كلا ۖ بل لا يخافون الآخرة
كَلَّا بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
Nay, verily, this (Qur'an) is an admonition,
Keineswegs! Er ist ja eine Erinnerung.
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
كلا إنه تذكرة
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُۥ تَذْكِرَةٌ
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
فمن شاء ذكره
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
وما يذكرون إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ هو أهل التقوى وأهل المغفرة
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ هُوَ أَهْلُ ٱلتَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ
